Pours a dark yellow color with a rich, moderate-heavy haze. Aromatics of blueberry punch amidst a tame pine character Fruit forward blueberry flavors held in balance by a light, but pleasant bitterness with a full-bodied finish, and yet, refreshingly dry.

Poured from undated can into a shaker glass. It pours a cloudy, lemon-yellow with a finger cap of fluffy, bright white foam and sheen of lacing. The fruity nose includes a whiff of blueberry with the lemon, grapefruit, and earthy malt and yeast notes. Its taste follows. There is blueberry, ripe melon, and tangerine sweetness balanced by tart lemon peel, grapefruit rind, and a hint of pine sap. The malt base is earthy with a touch of spice and it finishes with mild bitterness. This ale has a plush, creamy mouth feel with pleasant carbonation, and the 9% ABV is powerful. Overall, this is an awfully good DIPA. I cannot discern the age of the can but I suspect it is even better when newly-canned.
